# fiNERweb

## Dataset Description

fiNERweb is a multilingual named entity recognition dataset containing annotated text in multiple languages. Each example contains:
- Original text
- Character spans for entities

## Dataset Structure

Each example contains:
```python
{
    "text": str,  # Original text
    "char_spans": List[Dict],  # Character-level entity spans
}
```

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("whoisjones/fiNERweb", "eng")  # For English

# Access the data
print(dataset["train"][0])
```
